    NZ Nationals race length

    So it looks like they've cut race lengths on other classes to give the Supersport/Superbike riding faggots an extra race and a total of 40 laps racing while it looks like the rest of us for the same entry fee get to do 24 laps racing

    Yep seems fair to me

    It's a conspiracy, at the request of type suppliers.

    should just make superbike races 2 laps, we already know whos gonna win.. Craig Syphillis followed by Mark Brandon Reid. why drag it out!

    much more interesting racing gonna happen in other classes with new machines, new teams etc etc.. give them more laps

    yip but there's two on a sidecar so effectively you get 48 laps for the same dollars so what are you whining about?

    ha, nice try but no. In fact I have to share my 24 laps that I pay for with some free loader hanging onto my bike! so I actually "effectively" get 12 laps.. its just getting worse and worse

    can I just put lights and a plate on mine and using it on the road instead?

    Really want to look into MNZ and "fair"?, calulate how much money they generate with the full race licence cost and the entry fee. Gotta pay for the hotels, flights about the place and the bar tabs somehow............

    Supers and 600's have allways come first to them, I don't race in Clubmans, but still get quite pissed about their, arbitrary treatment and perceived lack of value, I imagine the sidecar mob feel the same about the sidecar mob.
    Speed kills-just ask the rabbit......
